Gryphon House The Encyclopedia of Infant and Toddler Activities, Revised

This book has a wide variety of activities to choose from. I love that it also lists extension activities to try!

I am so happy with this book. I was becoming so mind numb with the same routine with my 6 month old. Wake up, eat, belly time, story time, eat , nap, eat, belly time.......... I am sure you get where I am going with this. Since purchasing this book, I am able to create a by weekly plan that brings in new games and activities. I'm having more fun than I expected. Some of the activities call for pre prepping while baby is down for a nap. I think that's my favorite part. I use to do crafts before having my DD and now I am able to reincorporate it back into by life while benefiting my daughters upcoming play time. You can find some of the same ideas on pinterest but this book is nicely organized and can be marked for quick references and each idea has options on how to alter the game or activity to fit your babies age.

Had lesson ideas for many themes

Very interesting and very detailed

Fantastic book with tons of ideas. I used this as a resource when I was a toddler teacher at a childcare center. I am now a stay at home mom and use it just as much for activities for my own children. Most activities can be used for group or individual play. They show you what ages each activity is appropriate for and gives adaptations for children who are at different levels.
